7 Claims.

This invention relates to hair roll foundations, and has for an objectthe provision of a foundation which is stylish, sanitary, light inweight, and washable.

Another object is the provision of a hair roll foundation which willsecurely hold the hair when the hair is rolled thereover, to the endthat the hair maintains a neat well-dressed appearance.

Other objects of the invention include a hair roll foundation which issimple of construction, inexpensive in cost of manufacture, andgenerally superior to devices now known to the inventors.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 illustrates hair rolled over the foundation, the foundationbeing indicated in dotted lines,

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the hair roll as an entirety, and,

Figures 3, 4 and illustrate steps in the formation of the hair r011shown in Figure 2.

Referring now to the drawing, we may utilize for the foundation body,cords of Wool, cotton or synthetic material. If a body or roll of a ivendiameter is to be formed, for instance as illustrated in Figure 2, theroll is formed by looping a cord I back and forth to form a hank untilthe desired diameter is obtained. Commencing at cord end 2, Figure 3,the cord is looped to provide sides 3 and 4 with bights at 5 and 5 Theends of the cord are tied at 2 Thereafter, the end 2 in Figure 4 isheld, while the looped end 5 in said figure is turned in the directionof the arrow 6 to twist the cords tightly together under tension. Theend 5 is then folded adjacent the end 2, as shown in Figure 5, toprovide two parallel lengths 1 and 8. Holding the ends 2 and 5, and thebight 9, while maintaining the foundation in its tightly twisted form,as indicated by the operation in Figure 4, will produce the twist shownin Figure 2 when the bight 9 is released. This twisted form will remainin the foundation roll or body without further attention, the reasonbeing that when the two lengths 3 and 4 are twisted together in thedirection of the arrow 6, followed by bringing the lengths into theposition shown in Figure 5, the cords untwist in a direction opposite tothe direction of twist shown in Figure 4, resulting in a twist in thedirection of the arrow ID in Figure 2 and without any tension remainingin the cords. Ribbons H and 12 are fastened to the foundation ends.

In the use of the device, the back and side hair is combed downwardly tofan the same from the crown of the head. The roll of Figure 2 is thenadjusted, as desired, low or high on the neck, with the two ribbons IIand I2 tied together across the top of the head, as indicated at I3 inFigure 1. The hair ends are then tucked smoothly around the foundationroll until the roll is completely covered, as shown at I4 in Figure 1.The top hair is thereafter curled or pompadoured over the ribbons tocover or hide the same.

The fabric material may be made in any color to match the color of thehair.

The character of the foundation is such that the cords hold the hairwithout fear of the hair becoming loose or straggly, resulting in asocalled frayed end apperance.

We claim:

1. The method of forming a hair foundation, which consists in firstforming a looped body of multiple cords, twisting the looped body untilit is under tension, thereafter folding the looped body into twoparallel lengths while maintaining the twist therein, then releasing thelooped body to cause the two parallel lengths to twist together until notension remains in the body.

2. The method of forming a hair foundation, which consists in firstforming a looped body of multiple cords, twisting the looped body untilit is under tension, thereafter folding the looped body into twoparallel lengths while maintaining the twist therein, then releasing thelooped body to cause the two parallel lengths to twist together until notension remains in the body, and thereafter tying the ends of the body.

3. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongatedbody formed of reversely twisted fabric cords.

4. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongatedbody formed of reversely twisted untensioned fabric cords.

5. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongatedsoft yarn body formed of a single hank of reversely twisted yarn.

6. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongatedsoft yarn body formed of a single hank of reversely twisted yarn, andsaid twist of the yarn being untensioned.

7. A device for producing a rolled hair dress, comprising an elongatedsoft yarn body formed of a single hank of reversely twisted yarn, saidtwist of the yarn being untensioned, and ties for the ends of the body.
